NOTES ABOUT THE OIL FIELDS Items of Interest Gleaned From Southern California's Producing Fields and Progress Made. The Union Oil company's Chapman No. 2 is now the greatest producer in the Richfield district. The well came in at the rate of 2000 barrels. The big well has now settled down to 1700 and is flowing with hardly any effort. Chapman No. 2 was completed at 4100 feet and shows what the Union can expect of more wells completed at this depth and deeper. Three more wells on the Chapman ar in the oil sand and will be completed soon—No. 5 at 4056, No. 6 at 4150 and No. 7 at 4255. The Thompson-Goodwin property No. 2, in the oil sand at 3225, looks good. McFadden No. 2 is near production, being in the oil sand at 3180. Coyle-Bogue No. 1 at 4035 is in the oil sand and looks promising. Two wells on the Coyle property stand cemented, No. 2 at 3057 and No. 4 at 2895. Esther Newell No. 2, drilled to 3310, is cleaning out and bailing at 3295; water trouble has prevented this well from being a commercial producer. Stern No. 1 is in the oil sand at 3420, but a fishing job is delaying the completion of the well. Stern No. 2 started drilling and is 600 feet deep. Pulling on pipe wrecked the rig at Dorsey No. 1. The Fullerton Oil company's Anaheim Union No. 1 is now drilling at 4550 feet. At this depth the formation is a nice brown sandy shale and is showing more oil and gas than at any time since the well started drilling. The Fullerton is expected to finish at production that the belief is expressed in many quarters that the Beach territory is likely to solve the state's problem of oil shortage. The field seems to be literally soaked with the liquid wealth, and anything less than a 1000-barrel well hardly calls for comment. The principal developments of the past 10 days have been the bringing in by Texcal Oil and Refining company of a 1500-barrel well on the Hugh Grant lease and the Standard's success in adding about the same production from its A-3 well. A little over two weeks ago Texcal set pipe on No. 2 at 2828 feet. On drilling out the cement and going but three feet into the sand the well broke in and started flowing. The remarkable thing about this new producer is that 1500 barrels a day is coming from three feet of sand and the well is flowing through 10-inch casing. The getting of the gusher well has done much to relieve the tension under which the management has been working for six months or more and puts the Texcal in the list of the big producers at Huntington Beach. Standard Oil's success at Huntington Beach was added to considerably in the bringing in of Huntington A-3, a 2000-barrel well. Drilled to 2750 feet this gusher started off making 2,000 barrels of 22 gravity oil. The big well is flowing through a 5-8-flow nipple and is under a 300-pound pressure.

To my mind, the imminent meeting is to bring understanding and co-fruit men from east to west never be done except sentatives meeting together ready to contribute to information the profession of his section, solving marketing problems that have been all may profit by. Upon such a found fruit policy can be widely intelligence, on our growing marketing, standard creasing consumption.

Stern No. 2 started drilling and is 600 feet deep. Pulling on pipe wrecked the rig at Dorsey No. 1. The Fullerton Oil company's Anaheim Union No. 1 is now drilling at 4560 feet. At this depth the formation is a nice brown sandy shale and is showing more oil and gas than at any time since the well started drilling. The Fullerton is expected to finish at 4200 or 4300 feet, but did not get the rich sands found by the Standard on the Kraemer No. 2 property. To date the deepest well drilled in the Richfield district is the Standard Oil company's Loftus-O'Bryan No. 1, now drilling at 4929 feet. The formation is hard sand with only small oil indications. Drilling on Vejar is also going deep, almost 4800 feet having been reached without getting any satisfactory showing of oil. Cuff No. 1 developed some water and was re-cemented at 4736 feet. On the Kraemer property the Standard's next producer will be No. 12, now drilling in hard sand at 3800 feet. No. 13 is at 3100 feet, and No. 14 is at 2400 feet. No. 16 is being rigged to start drilling with the rotary. No. 15 is drilling at 1450 feet. On the original Kraemer property the Standard has three wells standing cemented, No. 5 at 4135, No. 10 at 2761 and No. 12 at 3176 feet. The total Kraemer production is now running close to 10,000 barrels daily. The Wonder Oil company is now a producing company in the Richfield district, breaking into the producers' ranks with a 1400-barrel well at No. 1. Drilled to 4384, this new well started showing lots of good sand at 4100. The showing increased as the hole deepened. The big well came in early Tuesday morning and is making upward of 1400 barrels. Drilled on the Kraemer home place, the well calls to mind the paying of the biggest bonus ever paid for California oil property. A half million of dollars was paid as a bonus for the 140 acres of the Kraemer home property. A few 1400-barrel wells will soon take care of the bonus. The Keck Drilling company is to be congratulated on the masterly manner in which the well was drilled, and marks Keck one of the most successful drilling contractors in the field. The job was a long and hard one, but was well done in record time. Standard Oil's success at Huntington Beach was added to considerably in the bringing in of Huntington A-3, a 2000-barrel well. Drilled to 2750 feet this gusher started off making 2-000 barrels of 22 gravity oil. The big well is flowing through a 5-8-flow nipple and is under a 300-pound pressure. Bolsa Chica No. 1, the greatest well ever brought in at Huntington Beach and now the biggest producer in southern California, continues to increase in production. For a month or more this well has been flowing steadily around 220 barrels. The production has now gone up to 2300 barrels. Bolsa 2 and 3 are standing cemented at 2384 and 2080 feet, respectively, and two more gushers will probably result when these two are opened up. The Standard set pipe at the Jones Community well at 2500 feet. With a good showing of oil previous to the cementing something can be reasonably expected when the content is drilled out. Torrance No. 1 is cleaning out at 3870 feet and will soon be ready for a production test. Surf No. 1 will make a heavy oil producer at 3700 feet and is being cleaned out. Six wells are drilling on the Huntington "A" property. No. 7 is putting in 8-inch at 2800 feet and will be the next producer. The Argonaut Oil company, drilling in oil sand at 2975 feet, has set expectations for not less than a 1000-barrel well. Soon after drilling out the cement at 2868 feet the well was found to be difficult to hold down and every once in a while pushes out a lot of oil. The sand at 2975 feet still continues very rich and the well is exhibiting plenty of "kick." Lumber is on the ground for No. 2 and development work is to go right ahead. Before the end of the week the Pantages-Huntington will be a producer indications point to at least a 500 or 600-barrel well. With 89 feet of oil sand in the hole reaming to set pipe it is now being done, and with a successful shut off on the water Pantages-Huntington, as the saying goes, is "setting pretty." Irving Auger, the genius that is behind the destiny of the Bolsa Chica Oil company, is getting ready to bring in a producer. On account of the differences in formation and showings gotten, something startling is being looked for when the cement is drilled out. Standing at 2132 feet the cement will be drilled out early next week.

The Keck Drilling company is to be congratulated on the masterly manner in which the well was drilled, and marks Keck one of the most successful drilling contractors in the field. The job was a long and hard one, but was well done in record time. At Chino the National Exploration company is still having pipe trouble at Chino No. 1, the depth being only about 1300 feet. The complexion of Olinda No. 1 changed for the better considerably when the formation commenced to show some real brown sandy shale that shows color. The Columbia Producing company is making preparations to bring in two 500-barrel wells at Olinda. The new wells are Nos. 33 and 36. No. 33 is coming in at a depth of 2975 feet and No. 36 at 3200 feet. The coming in of these two wells gives the Columbia a nice production at Olinda. The Richfield United Oil company put its No. 1 on the beam a few days ago. The well started off with an initial production of about 300 barrels. The well is flowing through 6-inch and would probably do better through tubing. The depth of this well is 3240 feet. Early in 1920 the Standard Oil company brought in the discovery well of the Huntington Beach field. There are now close to 100 derricks standing, more than 50 companies are engaged in active development work and the daily production hovers close around 10,000 barrels. The developments of the past 10 days resulted in so greatly increased now being done, and with a successful shut off on the water Pantages-Huntington, as the saying goes, is "setting pretty." Irving Auger, the genius that is behind the destiny of the Bolsa Chica Oil company, is getting ready to bring in a producer. On account of the differences in formation and showings gotten, something startling is being looked for when the cement is drilled out. Standing at 2132 feet the cement will be drilled out early next week. The Petroleum Midway will increase the Huntington Beach output with four wells in the very near future. With Columbia 1-1 cemented at 3100 feet, Columbia 3-1 putting 8-inch at 1007 feet, Ray Walker ready to drill out at 2456 feet and Vollmer-Meyer almost completed, the Petroleum Midway will bring in four new wells at about the same time. Bray No. 1 is rigging up and Thornton No. 1, another new well, is building rig. Towers No. 1 is drilling at 600 feet. Lumber is on the ground for Smythe No. 1. A new location has been made and the rig is going up for Vollmer-Meyer No. 4. Work on the high school property is not to start for at least 60 days. The coming in of the Western Union's 1200-barrel well on the north side of the Huntington Beach field started a lot of new work. Ten new derricks are going up. Three of the new wells belong to the Petroleum Midway, three to the Amalgamated Oil company and four to the Union Oil company. The Union Oil company has decided to deepen the Copeland well. Rigging up to deepen is now under way. It is believed that three or four hundred feet of hole will duplicate the Western Union producer. The well went on production a month ago at 2940 feet and made 200 barrels. Many other things that so fruit business at synthetic fruit juice matter and chemical fruit juice, but he whatever.

Resolutions we ward uniform grate the country and rative units sig FRUIT GROWERS OF THE NATION MEET Country-Wide Projects for Better Production and Distribution Are Taken Up. Twenty-seven states of the union were represented at Chicago on April 5th, at the fruit conference called by President Howard, of the American Farm Bureau Federation, at the request of the American Pomological society and of fruit interests within the Farm Bureau. Nearly every state that produces fruit commercially was represented. Sheridan Baker and R. B. Peters were sent to represent the California Farm Bureau. Mr. Aaron Sapiro represented a number of California fruit associations. To my mind, the importance of such a meeting is to bring about closer understanding and co-operation among fruit men from east to west, which can never be done except by their representatives meeting together, each man ready to contribute to the general fund of information the problems and experience of his section, the attempts at solving marketing problems, and the mistakes that have been made which all may profit by. Upon such a foundation, a national fruit policy can be worked out with intelligence, on our great subjects of marketing, standardization and increasing consumption of fruit. The necessity of a tariff on lemons and other fruit suffering from cheaply produced foreign fruit, was represented in detail by R. B. Peters. California will need the support of eastern fruit growers, when this matter comes before congress. The east is not interested in citrus problems, unless, through the Farm Bureau, the necessity of protection of citrus is made clear throughout the country. Many speakers gave illuminating tracts for over a year at a time with commercial sales agencies. A good deal of opposition seems to exist to the joint stock land bank, one of the banks provided for by the Farm Loan act, and this opposition, strangely enough, is coming both from large money loaners like insurance companies and at the same time from farmers whom the joint stock bank was supposed to benefit. Promoters of the joint stock land bank are at a loss to understand this and have written us to ask why this opposition. We have replied as follows, and believe this is the answer to the apparently inconsistent attitude of farmers on the subject: "We recall no special opposition to the joint stock land bank in the state Farm Bureau, in fact there were one or two strong defenders of the bank on the board last year. "But we do think the general feeling exists that the whole Farm Loan act is endangered largely because of the joint stock bank provision, that part of the act being under strong opposition from the large insurance companies, because of the joint stock bank being allowed to issue tax exempt bonds. "The co-operative feature of the federal farm loan bank has enabled it to stand on firmer ground. Therefore the opposition that exists around local Farm Bureau organizations is largely due to the feeling that the joint stock land bank provision will cause the repeal of the whole act, unless it is eliminated. I think that is what the Smoot bill proposes to do. It will have the support of the large money loaners on the one hand and the farmer on the other, who thinks that he is thereby saving the farm loan banks." THE KELP INDUSTRY With the government ordering the kelp experimental plant at Summerland near Santa Barbara closed down mission, and as collaborator with the U.S. bureau of soils. On this trip we saw all of the important groves between La Jolla and Santa Barbara, and we found all in excellent condition. The growth at Summerland was so heavy that the experimental plant could get their one hundred tons per day without going out of sight of the plant. "While Captain Crandall was discussing certain business matters related to closing the plant, I was given opportunity to see the equipment and learn something of the work from the chemist in charge of the laboratory, Mr. Tanner. "The kelp is cut off about five feet below the surface of the water by knives operated by machinery at the end of the barge like boat used for harvesting. It falls on an endless belt, which carries it up and drops it into the boat, which soon gets its one hundred tons. The boat is unloaded at a substantial pier, where a very long endless belt carries it through troughs to the driers. After various complicated processes there are found to be at present six products available for marketing. These are kelp ash, kelp char, salt, lodine, potash and carbon in a form resembling lamp black." FRED—FREE—FREE Examination by Specialist.

The necessity of a tariff on lemons and other fruit suffering from cheaply produced foreign fruit, was represented in detail by R. B. Peters. California will need the support of eastern fruit growers, when this matter comes before congress. The east is not interested in citrus problems, unless through the Farm Bureau, the necessity of protection of citrus is made clear throughout the country. Many speakers gave illuminating discussions of what is being done in co-operative marketing in other states, and that is a great deal more than some of us in California realize. The big warning sounded again and again was against our co-operative associations making long-time contracts with commercial marketing concerns, giving the latter the opportunity to juggle with prices and defeat the ends of the co-operative concerns. This thing was reported as having been done in some states with disastrous results. Action was taken along the following lines, which I consider of great importance. First. A request was presented to President Howard, of the American Farm Bureau Federation, to appoint a committee of 21, from throughout the United States, to represent as nearly as possible all the fruit interests of the country. This committee is to make recommendations for more uniform marketing system, standardization and publicity, after a thorough study of the field. It may be a year before this committee will be able to make a report, but this report should be well worth while. Second. The creation of a fruit department in the National Farm Bureau organization. This department to be headed by a man fully conversant with all matters connected with fruit production and marketing. This department will be organized so as to secure the best interests of all members within the Farm Bureau, who produce fruit. When matters of legislation are proposed which affect fruit, such a department will be able to present to our American Farm Bureau executive committee and to its legislative department the views of fruit men on the matters at issue, and to recommend a proper policy for the legislative department, with the understanding of those familiar and in sympathy with the fruit business. If such a department had been in existence this year and had picked out creasing consumption of fruit. With the government ordering the kelp experimental plant at Summerland, near Santa Barbara, closed down and with no private concerns operating kelp plants, the development of industries making use of southern California's kelp beds—sometimes called kelp groves—is at a standstill. In order that there may be an accurate understanding of what possibilities lie in utilizing kelp, representatives of the Scripps biological institute at La Jolla recently completed a survey of the kelp beds of southern California, including the beds at Laguna Beach. W. E. Allen, of La Jolla, biologist, who was one of those making the survey, points out that capital is needed to develop the state's resources in kelp. The following report from the kelp institution is made by Allen: "Californians are justly proud of the quality and quantity of production of various crops on certain of our land areas. There are sections especially adapted to production of fine apples, others to prunes, others to citrus fruits, others to grapes, others to beans and grain. California red wood groves are famous the world over. Even the ocean bed along her rocky shores is noteworthy because of its production of big crops of valuable kelp awaiting an intelligent harvester. "Between Point Loma and Point Conception, including the Channel islands, there are about eighty-five square miles of kelp groves so located as to be accessible for harvesting. Under pressure of war conditions 400,000 tons of kelp was harvested in one year in this area to use for munitions and fertilizer. "Eight different companies took part in the manufacture and in addition the U.S. bureau of soils maintained at Summerland, (near Santa Barbara) an experiment plant with capacity for handling 100 tons per day. "With the close of the war, demand for munitions ceased and prices for fertilizer dropped below production costs. As a result every kelp plant immediately stopped production although some of them had enormous peal of the whole act, unless it is eliminated. I think that is what the Smoot bill proposes to do. It will have the support of the large money loaners on the one hand and the farmer on the other, who thinks that he is thereby saving the farm loan banks."

TO THE PEOPLE OF ANAHEIM Owing to the desire active business life, the Lumber Company have decided we feel confident that its present Manager, Mr. Bowers, son of the writer. Mr. Adams has been the Company for the past of the Anaheim Yard, and friends will be pleased cognition of his manylected him to continue plane of service and ftainted since 1886. When matters of legislation are proposed which affect fruit, such a department will be able to present to our American Farm Bureau executive committee and to its legislative department the views of fruit men on the matters at issue, and to recommend a proper policy for the legislative department, with the understanding of those familiar and in sympathy with the fruit business. If such a department had been in existence this year and had picked out the best legislative bills for the protection of pure fruit juices, and sent them to all legislatures in session this year, through state Farm Bureau Federations, the department would have justified itself a hundred times over, in this one work alone. For, as all fruit men know, one of the things that seriously threatens the fruit business at this moment, is the synthetic fruit juice, made of coloring matter and chemicals, to look like fruit juice, but having no fruit in it whatever. Many other things were suggested which the committee of 21, and the fruit department should take up for the good of the fruit men. Such as work to increase consumption of fruit, indirectly, but better grading and marketing, encouraged by the formation of local co-operative packing units; and, directly, by advertising campaigns, similar to that of the California Associated Raisin company. The idea is to finance this department largely through the growers themselves, only a part of the money to come from the American Farm Bureau Federation. Resolutions were passed looking toward uniform grading laws throughout the country and against local co-operative units signing marketing con- "Eight different companies took part in the manufacture and in addition the U.S. bureau of soils maintained at Summerland, (near Santa Barbara) an experiment plant with capacity for handling 100 tons per day. With the close of the war, demand for munitions ceased and prices for fertilizer dropped below production costs. As a result every kelp plant immediately stopped production although some of them had enormous sums of money invested in the factories. "The experimental plant at Summerland was able to continue operating to the present time under its special appropriations. But appropriations for continuance were withheld by the last congress and the experimental plant must cease operations before June 1. "Inasmuch as this plant has, under the supervision of D. J. W. Turrentine, developed methods of operation and selling which make it almost, if not quite, self-supporting, it seems most unfortunate that suspension of experimental work should occur now. On the other hand, there is a reason for satisfaction in the fact that experiments have gone far enough to indicate processes by which commercial manufacture can be done at a moderate profit and to give hope for still further extraction of valuable materials. "A short time since I accompanied Captain W. C. Crandall, of the Scripps institution at La Jolla, on one of his periodical trips for inspection of kelp groves. In war time Captain Crandall had charge of the kelp grounds of southern California as a representative of the California fish and game com- CLEAN THE STREETS CITY CLERK'S OFFICE Anaheim, Cal., May 5, 1921.
